| It's about being "born into a world" where "truth doesn't exist." ...duh. As we grow up, the lies that we were originally fed as young children multiply, grow, and evolve until that's all that we know and are aware of. (these liars are the bearers of the said "gifts") Chad sings here about how the only escape he has from the falsity of the world is to retreat inside his own mind, in a place he has designated where no one can (or ever did) penetrate. Thus, the only truths in the world are the abstract thoughts inside our own minds, the ones that aren't inspired or perceived from the outside world. | |

| I think its about living in a world of black. That we are planted here and living this melancholy existence. That when we know the seperation of the truth and the lies, we find out where they lie (no pun intended). I was let on to one thing from a certain intelligent being: Light can destroy darkness. But darkness cannot destroy light. It can merely cover it. I believe we are all covered in a shell of filth and lies. That if someday a spotlight of truth were to shine on this world, it would be completely black. People would be covered in this muck, blurring and distorting the true lines of who they are. "Maybe we're all the children of a star, misguided in direction, our misdirection. Pardon me while I pray for light. (I'm not the only one...) that walks between the rain, there are many (I'm not the only one...) when everything is lost that doesn't surrender" This is my favorite part! It's like he's trying to relay that we are truly children of the light. And that we have been bent to believe the lies are the truth. I do notice some irony mentioned in this song. How he pains when he questions how he has to go through everything alone (this fight against the lies). Yet, he knows he's not the only one who has walked and seen what is really out there. Which leads me to believe... a lot of people are surrendering themselves these days. | |

| i think that Chino69 is pretty true, but i also feel there MIGHT be something about the church in here. references to jesus such as 'The fool that fell from heaven' and 'the bearer of a gift, FUCK YOUR GIFT'. i might be wrong, but always keep your mind open PS. Fuck the church! | |

| i disagree.... i think it is more about how truth is never the truth... no matter how much u believe something is the truth, there will always be someone to disagree with you. The truth is only something everyone thinks is true (different perceptions of what happends) | |

| kinda sounds like being a bastard child, 'born into a world never meant to be here', 'perversion of a truth', 'fuck your gift' 'fool that fell from heaven' | |

| Sielense, you're an asshole. I can't stand people who say things like "duh..." before frothing their own self-righteous opinions. As if your point of view is so obvious... This site exists for a reason, dumbass. | |

| When he says "walking through a world, never asked to be here" he not saying "I" never asked to be here. Hes saying WE never asked to be here. like we didnt give "God" (personally i dont believe in a maker) permission to make this world for us, he just did it without our consent. when he says "the fool that fell from heaven" hes talking about Jesus. "Maybe we're all the children of a star, misguided in direction, our misdirection." Maybe "God" didn't make us maybe we're just the biproducts of nature, evolution, and natural selection. We're "misguided in direction" by religions that say we are made by "God". When he says that truth doesnt exist i think hes talking about the ultimate truth, the truth of life, the reason we're here. Because thats one of the only things that we dont know the truth to, and well i doubt there is a reason we're here. All the truth that we have is our "versions of the truth" which lie within each of us. The reason that we are alive lives within us, we have to make it up, whether it be that we ultimately have no purpose or something else. I believe that we aren't here for any particular reason, but i do believe that our life has a purpose. I bet this contains many contradictions, but I tried my best. I could also be completely wrong too. Oh well. | |

| What a great song. This song, like more and more of Mudvayne's songs that I have researched, is shrouded in Hermetic symbolism. On the surface, this song is about what all of you are saying about religion and whatever. On a completely different note, however, the song deals with what is known as the hidden sephira on the tree of life. I think that if they didn't let out that one scream of daath, no one would EVER be the wiser. But, since they stuck that in the particular line they put it in, truth, or the seeking of truth and knowledge, is an illusion. Like seeking the forbidden fruit, we are driven to find out how things work, why we're here, blah blah blah. This hidden sephira, however, is a distraction from the real, undeniable truth that lies beyond. This truth cannot exist for us here, for once we reach that truth (kether), we no longer have reason for being here. | |

| perversion-a curve that reverses the direction of something. so he is sayin that we are curving the truth instead of what is really true. | |
